Chapter 9: Rate of Reaction
CIE AS Chemistry
, 8.1 RATE OF REACTION
Chemical reaction occurs due to
collisions; involves either combining or
breaking of bonds
Must collide in the right orientation and
have enough energy for bonds to break;
successful collisions
CIE AS Chemistry
,8.1 RATE OF REACTION
CIE AS Chemistry
, 8.1 RATE OF REACTION
The more collisions, the more likely
reactions will happen
The faster the reaction, the higher the rate
Chemical kinetics: the speed of the
chemical reaction depends on the factors
that can affect this speed.
Q: How do we determine the rate of reaction?
